LSAT Ace Ditches Law School, Produces Popular Podcasts

A student who scored a perfect 180 on his Law School Admissions Test decided to help other aspiring lawyers rather than become one himself.
“Jewish mothers everywhere must have sighed when Andrew Brody, a nice Jewish boy who scored a perfect 180 on his LSAT and received a scholarship to New York University Law School, decided against law,” reports the Jewish Week. “Yet Brody, 29, may be responsible for helping their own sons gain acceptance to top law schools.”
Brody trains other LSAT teachers for the Princeton Review and produces a podcast called LSAT Logic in Everyday Life, the story says. The podcast finds flaws in arguments about current events, such as the recent trampling of a Wal-Mart greeter or flaws in labor statistics.
“It’s a time in our country when people are saying, ‘Let’s question assumptions, let’s learn to think more critically,’ ” Brody told the publication.
Few people are able to achieve perfect LSAT scores. Only about 25 out of 125,000 LSAT test takers who took a recent test got a score of 180, according to a press release about a student from Appalachian State University who was one of them.

This is a fantastic podcast. I still listen to the new episodes every week, even though I took the LSAT 6 months ago. Mr. Brody, your service to 0Ls everywhere (even the non-Jewish ones like Yours Truly) is commendable and appreciated.
Thank you from someone who would be ecstatic to attend NYU Law this fall.

As a 1L , I am un-impressed. The LSAT is joke compared to law school itself. I would not take advice from anyone who has not gone through the whole process.

I assume Alisha hasn’t listened to the podcast. Brody’s entire focus is on logical flaws in popular controversies and how similar flaws might appear in the LR section of the LSAT. He doesn’t dish out advice about law school or law practice themselves (nor does he claim to).

The LSAT needs a serious overhaul - it can easily be beaten with a little preparation.
